Snowman on a Stick {Donut Snowman}

Yesterday I took these adorable snowman on a stick treats for the kindergarten class party and they were a big hit!

The snowmen on a stick were inspired by the cute snowmen at A Little Tipsy but I made a couple of changes. I slid the donuts onto a long wooden skewer {if the donuts aren’t fresh, they may split when you slide them on but sliding them slowly will help} then used an orange Mike and Ike for the nose and a green Mike and Ike cut in half for the buttons. I sliced a piece of fruit roll-up to make the scarf and made the eyes and mouth with a toothpick dipped in black food coloring, gently touched onto the donut.

I wanted to minimize the amount of candy used and simplify the process. I think they turned out really cute!

If you’re transporting the to a class party like I did, just stack them in a 9×13 pan, alternating the directions they’re facing.

For simple drinks to go with the snowman on a stick treats, I wrapped regular juice boxes with white duct tape and added little black paper buttons. They fit in well with the snowman theme and they were really simple and quick to embellish. The kids loved them and thought their snowman themed treats were the best!

Thanks for this idea! There were so many oooohhs and ahhhs as I delivered them to my daughter’s 4th grade class this morning. And we had a blast making them (had to make 50)! Our variatons are: Little marshmallow tophats–I sliced large marshmallows to make the brims and placed a small marshmallow on top of each slice. I was gonna paint them with black icing, but it was too tedious so the men had to have white hats. We used chocolate sprinkles for the eyes and mouth. I wish I had thought to wrap them individually and tie them with a ribbon like I just saw on the “A Little Tipsy” page. But it turned out well! Thanks to you and Michelle for this idea!!

Hi, was wondering if you used a certain size skewer? I made Halloween candy skewers and couldn’t use the candy corn/pumpkin bc they fell apart. The orange slice eventually broke in 1/2 as well. Did you make them the night b4? Sorry for all the questions but I love love this idea & want to perfect it. Thanks!!!

I used regular sized wooden skewers. I slid the donuts on very slowly and they did fine. It definitely worked better with fresher donuts. I foudn that if I slid them on quickly, they were more likely to crack but otherwise they did fine. I hope that helps!

These are adorable and look pretty easy to make. Great idea for a school party or special treats for the kids. Love them. I’m doing a Holiday Roundup and will be sending my readers your way. Thanks for sharing.
